Blood is ~55% plasma and ~45% red blood cells (erythrocytes). These cells contain millions of molecules of the protein hemoglobin each of which can bind up to 4 oxygen molecules.

What Carries oxygen-rich blood around your body?
The simplest answer is "arteries," which generally carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the body, but the pulmonary veins also carry oxygen-rich blood. The lungs have oxygen that gives oxygen to the cells. Our body is a closed system so the blood never leaves the body system unless we are cut. After the blood has used up all of the oxygen it has the blood is recirculated through the heart and lungs once more! Thus this process goes on and on! An ARTERY carries oxygen rich or oxygenated blood from the heart to the body cells to give oxygen to them. I remember this by: Artery Away Arteries carry oxygen rich blood from the lungs to other parts of the body. Veins return oxygen poor blood to the heart where it gets recirculated through the lungs and then throughout the body again. The arteries.
What is the only artery carrying blood rich in oxygen?
Pulmonary artery is the only artery that carries non-oxygenated blood. Conversely, the pulmonary vein is the only vein that carries oxygenated blood.

What is the difference between general circulation and cardiopulmonary circulation?
General or systemic circulation carries blood throughout the body. Cardiopulmonary circulation carries blood from the heart to lungs and back.
Does plasma carry oxygen?
When oxygen enters the bloodstream through the lungs it generally binds to red blood cells (more specifically the hemoglobin within red blood cells), which are carried along within the plasma. While some unbound oxygen may become diffused inside the plasma itself it is not the primary or intended mean of oxygen transport throughout the body. In short, plasma doesn't carry oxygen, but instead carries the cells that carry oxygen.
